Cluster:user.name :: network interface create -vserver <vs_name> -lif <lif_name> -data-protocol fcp -home-node AFFC800-2 -home-port 2a -status-admin up
:: Error: invalid field
- ISCSI LIF created successfully without any errors.
- Tried to create LIF on node with lower version and then move the LIF from lower version node to higher version node, which failed with same error.
Cluster::> net interface create -vserver <vs_name> -lif test_lif -role data -data-protocol fcp -home-node FAS8040-02 -home-port 0e
(network interface create)
Cluster::> net int modify -vserver <vs_name> -lif test_lif -status-admin down
(network interface modify)
Cluster::> net int modify -vserver <vs_name> -lif test_lif -home-node AFFC800-2 -home-port 2a

Warning: This command will move FCP LIF "test_lif" from FCP adapter "0e" on node "FAS8040-02" to FCP adapter "2a" on node "AFFC800-2", however these adapters belong to different FC fabrics ("10:00:xx:xx:xx:xx:5b:90" and "10:00:xx:xx:xx:xx:79:38").
